Anny's Baptism and Our Family Trip to Arizona







First off, I would just like to say that I LOVE it most when our family can be all together in one place... even though it can get crazy... it's the most fun and we really should make these events happen more often. I have learned this last year that a person must enjoy the journey *while on the journey* and that is what I am trying to do because if there is anything I have learned over the years is that nothing stays the same, life changes and circumstances change and while your experiencing life you had better enjoy it and recognize where it is that your blessings come from.
Just this month we were able to travel out to Arizona for Anny's baptism. What a fabulous time we all had. I so love being around all four of my grandchildren... could there be anything more fun to do in life then soak up all the goodness that has been a blessing to your life?? Anny turned 8 in September and that is the age that our church baptizes children. She was baptized by her father (Alex) and Papa (Mike) was able to bless her with the holy ghost. It was a great ordinance and tho I do not have actual pictures of the baptism I do have some from immediately afterward. We all love Anny and are so proud of her outward expression of love for her Heavenly Father by being baptized.
